MEETING THE NEED

Your support allows for our Benevolence Team to focus on caring for the needs within our Cove family. From making sure that no one leaves The Cove hungry, to being a support during financial emergencies and life’s needs, this team works behind-the-scenes to make sure that people have the resources they need to move forward.
